I worked at a summer camp that filtered the the toilet and urinal water in a closed loop ecosystem. Had a swamp, that would utilize the nutrients really quick, then we had it pumped to a fish tank, from there it was used to water the indoor garden/ lawn. The garden was set on top of a sand filter system, linked to a reservoir and tank, then pumped back through the toilets.

To be very clear the water was only going to the toilets and the urinals. The tap water was all from city lines.

This is a great system. There's only one problem...our county won't allow it. Ive seen exactly one house that had this system for at least 15 years without any problems....no idea how they got it past the county inspection when they built the house, but apparently they did.

You need a holding tank, some pumps to pressurize the water, and you have to dye the grey water blue plus add some chemicals to it to stop the soapy water from getting icky.

They had a system on a This Old House episode about 5 years ago and it looked like it was way more trouble than it was worth. It captured water from the sinks and showers and sent it through the toilets.

What you do after that is call the cops and have friends call the cops on you. Do it once a month for 4 months, and on the 5th month call three times. Wait until they refuse to answer the complaint. Then start growing. For the next four months call once a month, just to keep up the illusion that people really are mistaking it for pot. After nine months and like 13 calls, they'll just give up.

This shit cracks me up. Come to my state, WA. It would go something like this. Hey, dude is growing weed over in his front yard! Cops; Did he like hurt anyone or steal something? uhhh no... Okay, well call us back when he does...see ya. We are going to do something that matters now.

The part that gets you high becomes inactive near heat. So technically even if you laced it, it probably wouldn't make you trip. But the placebo effect is one hell of a drug. Your mind has a lot more of an impact on your physical being than most would think.

I had hippie parents so was never really big on pot, though I was pot-informed. One day college friends bought what was obviously oregano with seeds in it, and I was all "you guys have serious issues" and they got mad at me for "Judging their lifestyle" before smoking up the house with burned pizza-smell. Still claimed it was weed.

message: Drugs are bad m'kay...

(edit: they also got real pissy when I laughed out loud at the teen selling them the oregano, when he asked "Are you a cop?" ...seriously, kid, you're an idiot. Also, 20-year-olds buying pot from a 16 year old. Real room full of geniuses.)

the THC(primary psychoactive ingredient) likes to collect primarily in the flowers.buds of the plant - thus the common term 'bud' - and while it DOES collect in the leaves, those have to be cured for a while before the THC reaches a potency level to have notable effects.

now back in the day, like, back in your parents' day and before, weed was different. the leaves were the primary source, as breeding techniques were just starting to take hold, and back then the buds were rather small and ordinary. nowadays, after generations and generations of growth cycles(seed to first budding, lather, rinse, repeat), pot has evolved to have the leaves be nearly vestigial, while the buds are now quite prominent and VERY potent.

it's actually a pretty fascinating way to look at designed evolution and the manipulation of genetics(via traditional mendelian methods).

Bah, I'm sure they know it kills thousands of people in overdoses. That is has been linked to turning people into Rapists and Murderers. And that it is a temptation from the Devil. What else do they need to know?

We had some kind of bush in our front yard when I was growing up that had leaves just like that but smaller. I saw a few people walk up to it and examine it. I don't know why they would suspect that we were growing marijuana in the front yard of our house in the middle of the city.

As a Vermonter, I'm here to tell you Mrs. Butterworth's nasty goop has no trace of maple anything in it. You're allowed to like it, but please don't defame maple syrup by alleging it has anything to do with those types of brands. Also, if you want something that tastes amazing, put a little scotch, brandy, or bourbon in your maple syrup. Not enough to make it lose its consistency, so like 1/10.

As a fellow Vermonter, thank you good sir. Aunt jamima/log cabin/butterworths are all maple flavored syrups...not Maple Syrup. The real sad thing is that The University of Vermont serves real maple syrup maybe 1/10 times in the dining halls, yet everyone thinks they are getting the real stuff every morning. I can taste the difference immediately and can usually see the difference. I even know people who try to steal it because of "how expensive it is" but have no clue its fake.

I don't know what goes through people's minds when they call the cops on someone because they think they saw marijuana.

"Oh no they might be breaking a law and hurting no one, better call the authorities and have them treated like scum and thrown in jail."

Imagine calling the cops because you saw them carry a case of beer into their house, if only alcohol were still illegal. Some people are just assholes that think they have to enforce their own morals on everyone around them.

Just the fact that someone who you have had no quarrel with before decides, probably on a whim, to potentially ruin your livelihood and subject you to a world of bullshit. Imagine if it was weed, as the neighbor clearly assumed. You could have been evicted, faced jail time, and if you have kids I'm sure protective services could have been involved. This is what your neighbor wanted to happen.

LOL here in Texas there have been some brutal raids triggered by Texas Star Hibiscus, which has an unusually strong resemblance to cannabis. Well, when it's NOT putting out pretty red flowers. That one tends to be a dead giveaway.

Don't laugh too hard - we had a big incident in our little town a few years ago. City fathers got their underwear in a knot because of kids who were hanging out at a downtown park, claiming all sorts of illegal stuff was going on. One city father even purchased a bag of grass from them.

Literal grass. As in lawn clippings. The kid had played a joke on him. Boy was he red faced when the cops had to tell him what it was.

My dad, who is considered an expert in drugs an alcohol by the courts/government, once accused my brother of bringing pot into the house when one of the leaves of these was found dried on the kitchen floor. My parents have four Japanese maples in the garden.

When I was a kid, my parent's neighbor had a Japanese Maple too. We never knew it was there until it started creeping above the fence line. My best bud was over one day (we were maybe 14), and being mildly retarded like most teenage boys, we convinced ourselves that our neighbor was growing some dank dank bud and all we'd have to do was wait for the marijuanas to grow over the summer before we could smoke that shit and hopefully not overdose. So we waited the summer out, intent on smoking that shit hurr when the plant matured durr. As the days passed, we'd hang out in the yard just looking at the thing, but being a fucking tree it did not at all grow at the same pace as the magical weed we thought it was. Then fall comes, the leaves start falling off, and at that point I think we realized what complete fucking dipshits we were, spending three months watching a goddamn tree grow in anticipation of something we obviously had no clue about whatsoever.

Sorry, I know you guys wanted to hear that we smoked it and got really ill or something, but we came to our senses... after 90 days or so. Really the worst cannabis related injury we ever had in our youth was a giant spoonful of Nestle Quik in the midst of a [9] that I thought was going to choke me to death.

Probably a social conservative or religious type. They move in, see something they are "uncomfortable with" next door and call the cops in order to clear up their discomfort. If it is nothing then the neighbors are innocent and everything is fine. If it is pot, then the neighbors get arrested, pay their fines and remove the pot tree, everything fine. From the conservative viewpoint, obeying the law and being "nice and normal" far outweighs the "dickness" of calling the cops on a neighbor.

in fact, this girl the other day that I work with me she told me she used to be a "CUB"... essentially one of those underaged kids who works with cops to go into liqour store and such to buy ciggs and liqour and see if they ask for ID.

for some reason I just was immediatley filled with contempt and hate for her, similar to what I feel for your neighbor also.

I have the best damn neighbour. I went on vacation and gave him my keys, he went out and bought a sensor so that the lights at my place would turn on at night to make it seem like someone was in there, collected all of the mail, mowed my lawn. And then when I came back a couple of days early and went to turn my car on and let it run for a bit, he comes out, bangs on the back window and screams "WHO IS THIS" with his fists up. The guy is like 65 and was ready to fight a thief for me. Best man I've ever met, honestly just the greatest freaking person you could imagine.

Nope, he's an average looking black man with black hair who beat prostate cancer a few years back and has lost a bit of facial expression from a stroke. And what's more interesting is that he lives in the richest town in Canada with like 3 other black people in the entire town.

I also forgot to mention that he keeps a garden in his backyard and brings over fresh vegetables all the time.

EDIT: Also, he wasn't navy, doesn't even live in the US (Canada), but he was a commercial pilot.

When I was a Mormon missionary in Baltimore, I laminated one if these and sent it to my mother as a joke. Simply said, she was not pleased, and jimmies were certainly rustled. I thought it was hilarious.

My mom is mid-50s as well, I've been talking about getting a Miracle fruit Plant, but she is convinced that if the neighbors can't identify the plant immediately they will think it's weed and report me to the cops

Do it. Let them. Sure it will inconvenience you for a bit, but then you can make friends with the cops and anything else you do you'll get off scott free since you know the cops on a first name baisis and they'll just think its the over reactive and paranoid neighbors again.

We have this customer that will remain anonymous, who filled his entire truck bed (with a cover) with Vitex agnus-castus, and drove a very stressful 5 hours back to San Antonio with his buddy. They got home, called up some friends to come over, and actually tried to light up before they arrived.

Needless to say, his friends were laughing at him as they walked in the back and saw all the coughing and puking going on because well...it was not what they thought it was.
